Bremanger is a great location to experience the coastal life in Norway. Located on the westernmost edge of the coastal line you can experience the dramatic forces of the ocean. We recommend heading to Grotlesanden for storm watching when the weather is rough, where you can experience the powerful waves crashing inland and hear the wind howl in the mountains.<\/p>\n

If you enjoy water activities (in better weather), we recommend heading out on the fjord with the possibility of catching a variety of fish and crab, paddle boarding, or perhaps a canoe or kayak trip. Alternatively, you can enjoy a quiet beach day at one of the several beaches where the little ones can play in the sand.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In Bremanger we have several beautiful beaches, which meet most people’s needs. If it’s not sunny and warm, we can still recommend a trip to our beaches to check the weather, kite\/windsurf or dig for crabs and flounder in seaweed and kelp. There are a lot of exciting things to find here! Beaches to check out include:<\/p>\n

Grotlesanden<\/h4>\n

Our most famous beach, with silky soft sand as far as the eye can see. The sea to the west is the closest neighbour, and a spectacular view of islets and reefs. Parking space and toilet facilities. Located 2 km from Havlys B&B.<\/p>\n

H\u00e5kssanden<\/h4>\n

One of the lesser-known beaches but just as great a destination. A long sandy beach with shallow water that is suitable for families with small children. This is also an excellent place for kiting and windsurfing in the right wind conditions. H\u00e5kssanden is located on Hauge by the grocery store Spar, about 1,3 km and walking distance from Havlys B&B.<\/p>\n

Iglandssanden<\/h4>\n

Closest to Havlys B&B are two small beaches. These are shallow and beautiful beaches that hide many treasures for the little ones. Buy a spade and bucket at Joker grocery store right next to the beach and get digging! You can access the beaches by stairs from Havlys B&B or the parking lot at Joker, with the latter including a short walkway between traditional boathouses.<\/p>\n

Vetvika<\/h4>\n

This unique hidden gem has become widely known recently, attracting hikers and boat people from near and far. This is a historic bay with a beautiful white sandy beach located on the north side of Bremanger Island. There are no roads here; thus, the bay is only accessible by boat or foot. The last inhabitants left in the 1950s, leaving behind a few houses and a graveyard. In addition to the unique landscape and nature, the bay is known for its interesting Viking and war history.<\/p>\n

The bay is quite the sight on beautiful summer days, but also the journey to the bay is spectacular and can be enjoyed by hiking or by boat. This is a popular spot for locals and boat people. Most will spend a whole day here relaxing in the sun, grilling, and trying various watersports creating a friendly and relaxing family vibe. This spot will definitely not disappoint! If choosing to hike, there are several great marked trails. We recommend starting at Iglandsvik and walking over the mountain out to Vetvika. When transported by boat, you go west, following the edge of the island around the mighty Olderveggen, a steep, rugged rock wall with clear traces of the powerful forces of the ocean. On the boat ride, if you’re lucky, you can spot eagles, harbor seals, porpoises, and maybe some goats and elk on the steep mountainsides.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
